IN CHARGE OF 

HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST, Formerly Managing Editor of The Washington Post. 



J HE constant and increasing demand for thoroughly equipped Journalists, and the difficulties encountered in 
obtaining a thorough knowledge of the Journalistic profession, makes the Department of Journalism 
of the National Correspondence Institute an absolute necessity to all who seek employment in this 
attractive and influential sphere. 

The advantages of Journalism as a profession, the opportunities offered to those who desire to learn its 
details, and the methods by which this knowledge can be acquired in spare moments, with the least expenditure 
of time and money, are fully described in the accompanying pages. 

READ THIS ANNOUNCEHENT CAREFULLY. 

The instruction outlined in the several courses is thorough, practical, and complete. It promises success to 
those who expect to find in Journalism a means of earning a livelihood, and to all who desire a more extended 
acquaintance with standard literature, the development of their talent for story-writing and other literary work, 
and the acquisition of a forceful, graceful, and correct style of expression, offers the most satisfactory method of 
securing beneficial results. 

We have the best plan and the best instructors, and confidently assure the best results.

N AGE OF JOURNALISM. 

" It is au Age of Journalism ; all the facts 
of the world are narrated iu the daily press," 
^f^"^^J£j^ writes that famous poet and critic, Mr. 

" «~~— ' Edmund Clarence Stedman, author of the 

great work on "The Victorian Poets-' 
Trulj'. this is an age of Journalism. Never before iu the 
history of the world have newspapers been so powerful, so pro- 
gressive, as they are to day ; never have they sought so eagerly 
and so persistently or paid so liberally for ever3- assistance 
tending to increase the influence of their editorials ; the extent 
and reliability of their news reports ; the value of their literary 
features. Their organization is more extensive and the field of 
employment is consequently larger. Nearly every newspaper 
finds a force of several hundred correspondents absolutely 
necessary, in addition to the numerous staff directly connected 
with the home office. As a natural result tlie proJes-Sion 
of Joiirualisin offers opportunities and advan- 
tages to young men and women unequalled by any 
other profession or trade. What other occupation is 
more influential, more remunerative, more fascinating than 
that of the Journalist? 



HAT IS JOURNALISM. 

"■ Webster says, "Jou-malism is the busi- 

ness of managing, editing oy ivriting for 
newspapers." But Journalism is more ; it 
is a profession of the highest dignity ; the 
widest influence ; the greatest power. From 
the reporter who unravels the mystery 
of a crime, to the Editor-in-Chief, to whom the rulers of the 
world pa}- tribute; from the writer of the interesting short 
story, to the author whose name is known and loved as far as 
civilization reaches — all are Jourualists. 





OURNALISM AS A PROFESSION. 

The men who are associated with Jour- 
nalism to-day control the destiny of the 
country. It is the Journalist who impresses 
his thoughts upon the public, who directs 
^~' popular opinion, making and unmaking 

men and becoming a tremendous factor in 
the history of the world. The power of the rural journalist is 
multiplied a thousand times iu the case of the editor of a great 
metropolitan newspaper. His utterance is an oracle to which 
all men listen. Even the most obscure reporter on the city 
press wields a power 
because of the vast 
audience he reaches. 5^^- 

The Journalist on the ^rj j?* 

metropolitan paper is . ^\}l 

courted as well as fear- 
ed. In the capitals of 
the States he is con- 
sulted by the leading 
officials and by the 
prominent politicians; 
at the Capital of the 
Nation he is the con- 
fidant of public men in 
the highest positions, 
including even the 
President and his Cab- 
inet advisers, the leading Senators and Representatives, and 
the titled Ambassadors and Ministers of foreign legations. 

With upwards of 20,000 periodicals published in the United 
States and Canada, covering everv field of Journalism, from the 
never sleeping newspaper to the magazines of great literary 
achievements, it must be obvious that the profession of 




Depart/Tje^b of JourQalis/ify. 



JourualisiiL nevei' offered greater iuduceiuents 
or promised higher attain ments tlian it does 
to-day. The growth of the great dailies, the liveliness of 
competition, the demand for a complete record of the world's 
happenings — all these combine 
to increase the demand for 
competent Journalists. More 
eager than ever are the news- 
papers to obtain the news, and 
more willing are they than 
ever to pay for it at the high- 
est prices. All that they ask is 
that the matter offered to them 
shall be written in dexterous, 
smooth, and intelligent manner, 
technically known as "news 
paper style," and which can 
not be acquired without instruc- 
tion. They are also on the alert 
to supplement their forces with 
bright, enthusiastic, and dili- 
gent men and women. To such 
they offer lucrative positions of importance, and an opportunity 
to acquire all that the greatest ambition could desire. 

/^^^RIBUTES TO JOURNALISM. . 

The greatest minds bear willing tribute 
to the glory and grandeur, the nobility and 
paramount influence of Journalistic work 
and trainiug. 

Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the eloquent 
evangelist of world wide fame, says of Jour- 
nalism : ''In my opinion, every theological student in the 
land ought to work on a newspaper for at least a }'ear 





:-5jfe 



in order to study human nature and gain the knowledge that it 

is impossible to receive in the academy, at college, and in the 

seminar}'. That's the trouble with preachers. They don't know 

the men to whom they are 

preaching and with whom 

theyaredealing; they have 

no knowledge of human 

nature. The best way to 

acquire all this is through 

work on the press. So, you 

see, I am a believer in the 

newspaperand of thegreat 

practical work which it 

performs.'' 

Prof. Noah Porter, the 
author of the profound 
work on " The Human hi- 
tellect" in his series of in- 
teresting essays on books 
and readings, says : "The 

journalist discourses to us with wisdom or wilduess, in sobernesR 
or extravagance, of the interests that concern the commonweal, 
or the themes which are uppermost for the hour or the week." 



EROES IN MODERN LIFE. 

A thousand appreciative eulogies of 
" the Journalistic profession could be quoted, 
but the following, from a recent number 
of the Cosniopoltian, gives a graphic de- 
scription of the place which the modern 
Journalist occupies in the world's history : "A great newspaper 
is one of the most gigantic, most highly systematized and 








filatioQal <5orrespor)6er)ee Institute, U/asbir^iJtor?, b. <?. 



most elaborate organizations that can be found in our moilern 
life. It has millions of capital invested in it. It has at its 
disposal what is in reality a highly-trained arn:}', officered 
with ability, industry, executive talent, energy and enthusiasm. 
It commands the services of scores of intrepid, tireless, indom- 
itable men who are inspired by the marvelous devotion to 
their calling, which is one of the strauge.st phases of our 
Journalism — men who will face hardship and privation, and 
even disease and death, for the glory of that impersonal thing 

which they have made 
it their profession to 
serve. The reporter, 
the newspaper corre- 
spondent, is one of the 
few heroes whom the 
"•commonplace routine 
of modern life has still 
permitted to survive. 
"In the heart of 
the desert, in the sav- 
age silence of the trop- 
ical jungle, where a 
Livingstone or an 
Emin issickeningwith 
despair at his hopeless 
isolation, a Journalist will seek him out and nonchalantly greet 
him. In tlie thick of battle, when bullets are singing like hail- 
stones in the air, and when the commanders themselves are 
snugly ensconced over their telegraphic instruments in some 
sheltered spot a league away, the newspaper correspondent will 
sit his horse in sublime consciousness of danger, as he jots down 
on his writing pad the fate of armies and the varying tide of war. 
"The modern journal sends its ambassadors to foreign 
countries and maintains them there at salaries which many 




jJ,.Hu 




diplomatic chiefs might envy. It enrolls statesmen and even 
kings and princes among those who feed its columns ; it has its 
finger on the pulse of every center of civilization throughout 
the world. It pours out money like water, demanding special 
railway service, chartering steamers, and netting the depths of 
ocean with its cables." 

Such is the Journalism of to-day, a profession without limit- 
ation, offering a future of incalculable power to those who enter 
it with a determination to succeed. 



(j^^HE SCOPE OF JOURNALISM. 

The broad field covered by modern Jour- 
nalism is phenomenal. It rivals the mag- 
azines in the excellence of its literary effort, 
in its graphic descriptions of historical events, 
in the cleverness of its fiction, and in the artistic accuracy 
and value of its illustrations. All the best-known writers of 
the present day, 
includingAn- 
t h o n y Hope, 
Rudyard Kip- 
ling, J. M. Ear- 
rie,Conau Doyle 
Bret Harte, Hall 
Caiue and thous- 
ands of others, 
whose names 
are household 
words, contrib- 
ute their highest 
endeavor to the 
newspaper. In

the columns of the daily -press Nauseu aud Peary are proud 
to relate the story of their Arctic exploratious ; Rev. Dr Tal- 
mage gladly preaches to the multitude, the politician sounds 
the bugle call to his party followeis, aud the eutertaining story- 
teller delights the young and old. 

Many of the most noted aud successful au- 
thors of the day began their career as newspaper 
writers. Mark Twaiu placed his foot on the first round of 
the ladder of fame as a newspaper reporter. Richard Harding 
Davis received his first experience as a reporter on The Phila- 
delphia Pi ess. It was in this capacity that they both gathered 
the material for their most famous productions. 



r^ 



HE VALUE OF NEWS. 



Journalism is, above all things, the 
business of gathering readable material and 
presenting it in an attractive, interesting, 
forcible form. The ability to do this is not 
so much an endowment of nature as a mat- 
ter of training. The art of creating an 
original story is inherited by many, yet the lack of literary 
instruction prevents its proper presentation. To this may be 
traced the failure of nearly all the aspirants to literary fame 
whose efforts have failed to bring them success and fortune. 

There is an ever-increasing market for well-written articles 
on timely topics. There is an insatiable demand by the public 
for original stories, which publishers are unable to supply, be- 
cause of the dearth of good material. As a consequence, the 
highest prices are paid for the product of expe- 
rienced writers. 

To this market the well equipped Journalist comes with 
confidence ; certain that the product of his observant eye and 



trained mind will command not only a high value but the 
attention of thousands; will insure him recognition such as 
would accrue from no other effort of 
mind or hand. 

The labor is easy, varied and 
entertaining ; the reward is cer- 
tain aud satisfactory. There are, 
of course, great heights for all 
who are especially adapted or 
unusually ambitious. The man- 
aging editor of the Neiv Yotk 
Journal receives $25,000 a year ; 
Alfred Henry Lewis, the political 
writer and interviewer on the same 
paper, receives fio.ooo; the Wash- 
ington correspondents are paid 
from $2,000 to |5,coo; aud there 
are numerous positions paying the 
same good salaries on even the 
least known newspapers. In fact, 
experience has shown that where 

the laborer is worthy of his hire the financial recognition is 
in proportion to honor and influence. 



OURNALISM AS AN ACCOMPLISH- 
MENT. 





The value of Journalism as an accom- 
plishment is incalculable. The doctor, the 
laAvyer, the politician, tlie business 

man — everyone who has occasion to express 
his thoughts ou paper — must concede the help- 
fulness of knowing how to state facts in forcible aud clear lan- 
guage. Instruction in Journalism means lessons iu the ait of 



8 filatiooal <$orrespoT)der)ee 

expression, the art of coudeusatiou, the art of graceful aud 
accomplished writing. It means everything to a man who de- 
sires to be regarded as well-educated in every sense.

The field of Journalism grows broader 
and broader in the opportunitj' which 

FOR WOMEN. ^^ otters to women. No well-equipped 
newspaper office to-day is without its staff 
of women writers. They are peculiarly' fitted for chronicling 
social events, for purely literary work ; for interviewing 
notable women authors aud actresses ; for preparing timely 
articles upou the changing fashions, aud for dealing with all 
topics of feminine interest. Thousands of women have en- 
tered Journalism of late 
}'ears, aud find in the 
work a congenial field 
of labor, which not oulj' 
pa3'S well, but adds mate- 
rially to their influence. 
Journalism is one of the 
most attractive employ- 
ments for womeu, be- 
cause her work is dig- 
nified and pleasant, aud 
her writing can very 
largely be done at 
home. Nearly all the 
prominent female writers 
of the present day — 
womeu whose work now 
commands large prices in 
the magazines — have 
graduated from the Jour- 
nalistic ranks. 





I BECORIE A JOUR- 



It is a mistake to believe that all Jour- 
nalists are born. In fact, the most successful 
Journalists of to-day are men who had no ex- 
traordinary education, and who at first dis- 
played no especial adaptabilit\- for their work. Horace 
Greeley, Charles A. Dana, aud all the men whose names 
are monuments iu the newspaper profession came up from the 
rauks and achieved fame aud fortune through their own efforts. 
That there are thousands of men aud women iu the United 
States who are equally capable of becoming Journalists of high 
distinction, if their latent talents are only developed and then 
directed by experienced miuds, can not be doubted. In prep- 
aration for Journalistic work g-eniiis is not absolutely 
essential. AVith proper traiuins, any man or 
woman of ordinary intelligence can be equipped 
to enter the profitable Journalistic field. Any oue 
who can write a friend an account of the happeningsof the house- 
hold—the daily events of even the most prosaic life— possesses 
at the ver}' outset the fundamental qualifications of a Journalist. 

The first requisites to success iu Journalism are ambition, 
perseverance, aud plain common sense. 

The ability to recognize uews can be learned. The construc- 
tion of sentences, the acquirement of a style, the polished touch 
that makes a newspaper article readable, a story fascinating, 
an editorial powerful, is but the result of careful training. 

The fact that the professiou of Journalism is not over- 
crowded is due, not to the lack of ability on the pirt of Journal- 
istic aspirants, but to the absence of training ; to the need of 
practical knowledge of the essential requirements. 

The editor of the modern newspaper is too busy to teach 
the novice, too much absorbed iu his great work to rewrite 



bepartfr\eT)t of Journalism. 



or even criticise the crude production, even though the facts 
may be of the utmost value. It is for this reason that meu and 
women, who not onl)- possess literary ability, but many of the 
qualifications which would enable them to achieve distinction in 
Journalism find no hand outstretched to help them. 

Modern methods of education have, however, opened the 
door of the newspaper sanctum, the magazine office, the pub- 
lishing house, to those who are determined to succeed in the 
literary world. 

The School of Journalism is the 
result of the never-ceasing demand 
j#\v for more and better writers. It is 
the bridge by which all earnest 
workeis may reach the height of 
their ambition. So important has it 
grown as a factor of education that 
nearl}' all the leading colleges and 
universities are attaching schools of 
Journalism to their curriculum. In 
nearU' all the other large cities 
schools of Journalism have been 
successfully established. 

These schools of Journalism, 
however, are not free from serious 
objections. They are not easily' at- 
tended by those who have not the 
good fortune to be college students 
or who do not reside in the large cities. In addition to this, the 
pupil must pay a large tuition fee and must also meet the ex- 
penses of living. The schools, not being numerous, are widely 
.situated and not easily reached. Many of them are inferior in 
their methods and equipment, but are nevertheless patronized, 
because they offer the only convenient entrance to the Journal- 
istic profession. 




( J^ja^HE KEY TO THE SITUATION. 

agl^a;- A careful study by eminent educators and 

' ■'^jB'^'" ' experienced Jourualists of existing methods 

^^ has resulted in the formation of plans that 

are destined to revolutionize the art of teach- 
ing Journalism. All the obstacles in the 
present sj'stems have been overcome, all faults obviated, 
all objections banished, making' it possible to teach 
Journalism in all its branches thoroughly and 
accnratel}' without the necessity of the student leaving home 
or interfering with his present occupation until he is fully 
competent to enter the Journalistic field. These plans have 
been adopted exclusively by The National Correspond- 
ence Institute, which, in connection with its large and 
growing system of teaching by correspondence, has organized 
and established the most completelj' equipped School of Jour- 
nalism in the country. 



CORRESPOND- 



Teaching by correspondence is not 
a new and untried experiment. It has 
ENCE TEACHING been in practice for many years and 
A SUCCESS. has proved remarkably successful. There 

are now in operation many of these 
Correspondence Schools, not- 
ably. The National Cor-

pecially successful, and has achieved a national reputation for 
this Institute. It is an elaboration of the Chautauqua plan, which 
has done so much to disseminate intelligence throughout the 
countr\-, and of the University Extension plan, to the excellent 
results of which thousands upou thousands throughout the 
entire length and breadth of* the United States have borne 
grateful witness. Journalism is particularly adapted 
to the correspondence system of imparting instruction, 
as it involves writing almost exclusively. 



N EMINENT JOURNALIST 
SECURED. 

Realizing the importance of practical 
K^M^^ teachers for practical work the National Cor- 

^ ^^^^^ respondence Institute School of Journalism 

has placed this new department in charge of 
Mr. Henry Litolitield AVest, who 
has been for many j'ears recognized as one of the most 
capable and successful Journalists at the National Capital. 
Mr. West is a trained newspaper man, whose father was 
the editor-iu chief of the New Yoik Coinineicial Adver- 
tiser. He began his newspaper career at the very foot of the 
ladder, serving his apprenticeship, so to speak, in a country 
newspaper office, and rose through every grade from the ranks 
of reporting to the responsible position of managing editor of 
the Washington Post, a place which he held for many 3-ears. 
He is now in charge of the Congressional and political work on 
that paper, and has achieved a wide fame by his accurate judg- 
ment and by the brilliant and graphic descriptions of the many 
NatioualConveutions which he has reported. Mr. West is also 
a magazine writer of acknowledged ability, and his recent article 
in the Forum,, entitled "The Autocrat of Congress," caused 



comment from Maine to California. He has also been a con- 
tributor to the North American Review and other standard 
periodicals. His eminence in his profession is attested by the 
high praise bestowed upon him by his colleagues. 

Mr. AVest, in his position as city editor and managing editor, 
as well as in other branches of editorial work, has had 
Avide experience in trainiug newspaper men, 

and the tact and ability which he has brought to bear 
upon the work of developing Journalists is already insur- 
ing gratifying success 
for the School of 
Journalism in connec- 
tion with the National : ;, 
Correspondence Insti- 
tute. It might be re- 
marked, in passing, 
that Mr. Karl Decker, 
the daring journalist, 
whose recent feat in 
rescuing Miss Cisueros 
from a Cuban prison 
caused a world wide 
sensation, received his 
first newspaper in- 
structions from Mr. 
West. While Mr. West 

will have charge of the Department of Journalism, he will 
be assisted by a corps of equally capable, e,\peri- 
euced, and accomplished journalists, who, having 
traveled over the paths which lead to success, and being 
familiar, through long years of experience, with the work 
of developing journalists, are peculiarly fitted to imparti 
with prompt yet certain methods, the knowledge which they 
have gained. 




(J^^HE NEW PLAN. 



Departmeot of Jour9alis/T\. 



lii 



With this corps of instructors the School 
_ ^^""^ M of Journalism of the Nalioual Correspondence 
■^^Hjw Institute proposes to mold iuto enduring form 
the plastic qualities of the student's mind. 
It will act as guide and instructor, discerning 
with unfaltering judgment the many excellent traits which 
will undoubtedly be displayed, but also pointing out, with 
solicitous care, any defects v. hich may be apparent in Journal- 
istic efforts. It asks of the student only perseverance and a 
desire to learn. It is the well-equipped, steady, reliable worker, 
and not the erratic, spasmodic character, who makes fame and 
money. " Genius is the infinite capacity for taking pains," says 
Carlyle, and iu the journalistic field this is the sort of genius 
which finds the most prosperous returns. 



COURSES OF The plan of instruction comprises four 

INSTRUCTION. courses, the first being the English 
Course, for those whose advantages of 
education have not been sufiicient to warrant the commence- 
ment of literary work without further preparation ; the Prac- 
tical Course, which includes instructions in all the essen- 
tial features of newspaper work ; the Complete Course, 
which carries the pupil into the higher realm of fiction and 
criticism; the Special Course, which affords the literary 
worker the best means of securing intelligent and competent 
judgment upon bis work, so as to enable him to produce the 
best results and remove obstructions from the path which 
leads to recognition in the magazines ; and the Select Course, 
which secures improvement of the mind, facility and forceful- 
ness of expression, as well as a beneficial acquaintance with 
literature, 



JOURNALISTIC ENGLISH.— Orthography, punctua- 
tion, capitalization, construction of sentences, grammar, etc. 
The students in oithography will be drilled in some twenty-five 
hundred or more words in common usage which are often mis- 
spelled. In punctuation they will be made acquainted with the 
correct use of the various punctuation marks : period, comma, 
semicolon, colon, dash, etc. In capitalization the correct use 
of capitals will be explained and practice m their use will be 
given. The instruction in gram- 
mar will familiarize the students 
with the use of correct English. 
7/ie preparatoiy coiiise will be 
essential to all who tack the 
advantages of a high-school or 
college education or their equiv- 
alents. 

PRACTICALJOUR- 
NALISM. — The Practical 
Course will be thorough and 
practical, as its name implies, 
directing each pupil iu the line 
of journalistic work. It will 
include : 

(a) The Study of Words, 
including practice in synonyms, 

the appropriate use of quotations and similes, with examples 
from the best works of English authors. 

(b) Rhetoric and Style, — The presentation of ideas in most 
attractive form ; descriptive, humorous, sarcastic, imaginative, 
and other styles of writing. 

((-) How to begin work as a Reporter or Correspondent. — The 
art of distinguishing between valuable and worthless news 
matter; the gathering of news items of a simple nature and 
their preparation for the daily press, 




12 



IVatior^al ^orresporjder^ee Institute, U/asl^JQcJtoo, D. <?. 



(d) Methods of Journalistic Work. — The technique of Jour- 
ualisni ; practical iustructiou iu the methods whereby daily 
events, such as railroad wrecks, conflagrations, tragedies, social 
affairs, religious and political 
conventions, court cases, etc., 
are recorded in the colinnus of 
the daih; newspaper. 

(e) The Art of Interview- 
ing. — How to write an interview 
in a pleasing and entertaining 
ujanner. Interviewing has be- 
come one of the most conspicu- 
ous features of the Journalistic 
profession. It offers a wide 
field for the graceful and in" 
genious writer, and well-written 
interviews are always at a pre- 
mium in the Journalistic market. 
(/) Editorial Writing. — 
Modern Journalism depends 
greatly upon forceful editorial writing for its success. The ed- 
itorial expression is peculiar in itself, being in the nature of 
comment, either critical or approving, upon current events A 
vigorous editorial style is imparted to the student. 

( 0-) The Art of Proof Reading.— How to read and mark 
proof, with practical illustrations. A necessarv adjunct to a 
thorough knowledge of journalistic work. 

COMPLETE JOURNALISM.— Aptitude and ability in 
Journalistic work, when displayed by the pupil, will naturally 
stimulate the desire to become thoroughly equipped in tlie 
higher branches of the profession. The Advanced Course will 
meet this demand and will include, in addition to the 
essential parts of the Practical Course: 

(a) Book Reviewing. — The reviewing of hooks has become 
an indispensaljle feature of Journalisni, Stiulenls are given 




The For 



•um 



material for literary criticism and instructed iu the art of pre- 
senting the salient points of new publications. 

(b) Dramatic Criticism. — The technique of dramatic crit- 
icism is described and examples of fine critical work submitted 
as models for the pupil's guidance and instruction. 

(c) Essay Writing. — Essays on political, historical, diplo- 
matic, and literary topics are prepared by the pupil under the 
direction of competent teachers and are subjected to critical 
examination. 

(d ) Short-Story Writing — The various kinds of short 
stories— the sentimental, the dramatic, the pastoral, the ro- 
mantic, etc. — are described and the student guided in their prep- 
aration. The work of the pupil 

in this direction will be given es- 
pecial attention. 

THE SPECIAL COURSE. 
— The Special Course will be 
of gi'eat value to those who 
have already endeavored to 
secure acceptance of literary 
work but have failed to gain 
a foothold in the ranks of suc- 
cessful authors. T/ie publish- 
ers have neither the time nor 
the indiitation to criticise the 
iiiajmscripts ivhich they find 
unavailable. We have, in 
connection with the School of 
Journalism, a Department 
ol Kejccted Manuscripts, 
in which all manuscripts sub- 
mitted to us will be carefully ex- 
amined and their imperfections 
corrected, P.v the valuable aid

thus aflForded, the rejected article is relieved of the defects which 
operated against its acceptance and the literary worker is en- 
abled to secure recognition in his profession. 

SELECT COURSE. —This course embraces subjects 
selected from the Practical and Complete Join nalism and is de- 
signed for teachers, lawyers, doctors — in fact, all professional 
and business men and women who desire instruction in com- 
position and literary work as an accomplishment and who do 
not wish to follow Journalism as a profession. It is especially 
adapted to those who are anxious to acquire a wider acquaintance 
with literature and to improve their ease, grace and forcefulness 
of expression. Lawyers, phj-sicians, teachers, clerks, business 
men and women, who feel the need of improvement in this 
direction, having been unable through circumstances to develop 
their literary faculties, will find in this course, which will include 
the study of language, rhetoric and logic, and the analysis and 
criticism of the best publications of standard authors, the most 
valuable assistance, especially in aiding them in the prepara- 
tion of papers on professional subjects. 

IRECT METHODS WITH THE 
PUPIL. 

Under the new plan the pupil is brought 
into direct relation with his teacher. The 
work of the new aspirant for Journalistic fame 
and honor is, by this method of instruction, 
submitted persoiially to the corps of teaclier.s, who 
examine it carefully, commend its excellencies and detect and 
criticise its weakness, acquainting the pupil with the results of 
the examination in personal letters to each individual 
student. No plan could be evolved which is better adapted to 
this busy world. This work can all be done at home, in the spare 
moments, obviating the necessity of expensive trips to the city. 
There is no time limit to the lessons. A person with 
much leisure can, of course, make the most rapid progress. 




13-^ 

But even those who have only a brief period in each day or 
week or month to devote to the acquisition of Journalistic knowl- 
edge and methods will be enabled, _ „: ,, ' ~ 
under our system, soon to become "'' ^ 
proficient in their chosen pofessiou. 
TIME The scholarship is 
REQUIRED, iion-forfeitable. This 
gives to the students 
ample opportunity to progress as 
the time at their disposal ma}' war- 
rant or their inclination may sug- 
gest. Thework can be accomplished 
without conflicting with regular oc- 
cupation or with recreation. At the 
same time the course, as planned, if 
pursued witti average diligence, can 
be completed in from six to twelve 
months ; but it will be possible for 
those who have abundant leisure to 
graduate in a shorter period of time. Persons already 
engaged in .Tournalisni, who desire to advance them- 
selves in literary work will find the methods and scope in the 
higher courses of the National Correspondence Institute School 
of Journalism admirably adapted to their purposes. Less time is 
required for them to complete a course than for others who have 
not had the training acquired by experience. 

RACTICAL METHODS OF IN- 
STRUCTION. 

The plan of instruction is thoroughly 
__ ^ practical. It provides a regular course for 

each pupil, which includes a study of the 
best style in English literature, a series 
of home readings, accurate criticism of grammar and ex- 
pression and the acquisition of an extended vocabtxlary, 





H 



f/atiorjal <?orrespor;ider)ee Institute, U/ast^ipcJtor?, D. <?. 



The National Correspondence Institute School of Journalism 
does not, however, rely upon Macaulay's essays or Longfellow's 
poems as providing the best methods of preparing for a suc- 
cessful career in Journal- 
ism. It presents a much 
more practical and per- 
sonal plan. Its experi- 
enced teachers know what 
is wanted by the reading 
public, and they propose 
to give to the pupils of 
the National Correspond- 
ence Institute School of 
Journalism the benefit of 
this knowledge. Each 
pupil will be directed in 
the line of genuine, prac- 
tic.ll work, so as to com- 
pletely and thoroughly fit 
him for any position ou 
any newspaper, and for 
■ ■ all the branches of Jour- 
nalistic work, from re- 
porting to story-writing. It explains to the would-be Jour- 
nalist the methods by which the details of railroad wrecks, 
tragedies, social events, conventions, political gatherings, court 
cases, etc., are first gathered and are then woven into a news 
paper article. The student prepares accounts of daily events, 
writes interviews, discusses current topics, thus acquiring the 
newspaper style, so invaluable in Journalism. All work, no 
matter how crude and amateurish it may be, is carefully 
reviewed and criticised, its merits and deficiencies being re- 
ported to the pupil, and the remedy suggested. In this waj' 
cac'li stiKU'iit is in(livMlua11,y iiistruct<'<l, iliuf; doing 





away with the vital defect of class instruction, where the bright- 
est and most progressive student must be retarded by the lag- 
gard. 

Ifo student will be graduated until he or she 
is thoroTiglilj' equipped. 



AKING IT PAY 

There is not a town in the United States 
but furnishes news to either ils local journal 
or to the larger newspaper of some neigh- 
boring city. There is no reason why 
you should not become equipped 
for the work of supplying' news. 
Under ordinary circumstances you can soon earn the amount 
required for your neces- 
sary tuition. Yon will be 
taught to recognize news 
at first sight, so to speak, 
while others, with senses 
undeveloped, pass it by. 
Having acquired this fac- 
ulty, you will be shown 
how to express }'Our ideas 
in the best manner, and 
also how to find a market 
for \-our work so as to se- 
cure financial return. In 
all of this you will have 
the advantage over those 
who are struggling along, 
hoping to achieve suc- 
cess, but without the least

idea of fuadamental principles or of advanced or modern meth- 
ods. Even if you should not desire to follow journalism as a 
profession, the instruction which j'ou will receive in literary 
work will be of incalculable benefit, enabling you to develop 
your intellectual faculties along the pleasantest as well as the 
most profitable paths. 



OW TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT. 

Not only does the School of Journalism 
teach the proper methods of preparing man- 
uscript for the newspapers and the maga- 
zines ; not only does it examine and criticize 
the work of its pupils, but it will, by its wide 
acquaintance and through the reputation 
which it has already acquired, be able to place the pupil 
In coiniminication witli the large and small 
dailies, and thus opeu the way for remunerative employment. 
It is proposed, for instance, to place at the disposal of the 
leading dailies in each State a list of the pupils of the National 
Correspondence School of Journalism who have become com- 
petent, after a course of instruction, to undertake any work 
which raaj' be assigned them. Managing editors of the great 
dailies are constantly compelled to telegraph to various points 
in their respective States, or even in far outlying sections, for 
news that they require. The list of thoroughly equipped 
Journalists which the National Correspondence Institute will 




furnish will be, in itself, a recommendation of capacity, and will 
be accepted as such by the managing editors. It is easy to see 
that by thus placing the names of our pupils in the offices of all 
the principal papers of the country, accompanied with our cer- 
tificate of competency, we establish business relations which are 
sure to be profitable and advantageous to all parties. 

OUR The Seal of the School of Journalism of the National 

SEAL. Correspondence Institute, when affixed to the di- 
ploma, gives to those who finish the complete course a 
guarantee that the graduate has become fully equipped in every 
detail of Journalistic work. The requirements of the School 
will be such as to 
demand of the 
student a thorough 
knowledge of the 
Journalistic profes- 
sion before the di- 
ploma can be ob- 
tained. Students 
who thus complete 
the course will 
possess a practical 
letter of rec- 
oinineudation 
which cannot fail 
to command great 
weight in the Jour- 
nalistic world.
